Hey everybody well my pacman frog has been eating his crickets but I would like to add some variety to his diet. I tried superworms he didn't like them and then I tried red wigglers and he just backs away from them but maybe it's because he ate eight large crickets last night. Should I try something different like night crawlers or something else I'm not so sure about Dubai roaches as my mom probably would have a problem with them so I'm trying to add variety to his diet and also I use tongs with the worms so I don't know if maybe I should just drop them in front of him or if he is afraid of my tongs. Any suggestions?
My pacman frog (Godzilla) ever since i got him he will never take worms of any kind ive tried nightcrawlers,can o pillars and meal worms i breed crickets and Dubia roaches and the occasional pinky mice you could try these 3 good luck with chubs i want a pic![]()
Red wigglers excrete smelly sticky substance that frogs hate, never feed mealworms ( high impaction risk), superworms are a bit better then mealworms, but not by much.
Check this video Tong Feeding 101 - YouTube
dont remember if it is covered in this video, you can also try to drop a cricket in front of his view and close, so he would associate tongs with food, then eventually moving tongs closer and closer and at some point offer from tongs. Once he is taking his cricket from tongs you can move on to other food.
you can do nightcrawlers ( the best), hormworms too, mice no more then once a month
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I called a reptile store earlier today and the guy said that I could just stick to crickets and pinky mice but only once a month for pinkies. He said that most of his acman frogs dont take worms of any kind and since Chubbs was unfortunately fed mainly crickets and the occasional pinky he doesnt take worms. I also found out that hydroballs can help me with my humidity issue. I was hoping to add varitety to his diet but may just have to stick to crickets and pinkies. I may try the night crawler.
A lot of them don't like nightcrawlers at first. You can try rubbing it on his face till he gets annoyed and bites it. Usually after the first time or two, they realize that the worms are food and will take them no problem (nightcrawlers are probably one of the most nutritious/easy to store feeders).
You can also feed the occasional f/t silverside. Sally's San Fransisco Bay Silversides is a good brand. They have a slightly lower fat content than pinkies, so mine probably gets one twice a month or so. She really seems to like the smell of those.
